ps: Modify the wording.

"I didn't expect the situation to be so bad!" Captain Hockdoe's face became even more difficult to look at than before. The seriously wounded who temporarily lost their mobility on board accounted for more than half of the total number of sailors. For a mixed flat-bottomed boat, if not a disaster, is a daunting ordeal.

Captain Hawkdor, who had been frowning and thinking for a while, stared at the first mate and said, "John! Take off and land half-sails from now on, while reducing the daily maintenance work on deck and sails......"

"I understand!" First Officer John nodded, then lowered his voice: "It's just that in that case, the wear and tear of the 'Georgia' will increase." Captain, you'd better prepare a speech to the president. Otherwise, you might get in trouble. ”

Although it wasn't close, Barrett's ears could hear the conversation between them. This made him wonder, 'The president of John's mouth doesn't seem to be easy to deal with!' Is that the head of the Chamber of Commerce behind the 'Georgia'? However, if you can be the head of the Chamber of Commerce, that kind of person should not care about the loss of this kind of necessary expenditure! ’

From Captain Hockdoe's orders, even a man like Barrett, who knew little about shipping, could understand that he had temporarily abandoned the day-to-day maintenance and maintenance of the ship. The limited manpower is fully devoted to the daily operation of this vessel.

As a result, the wear and tear of the ships will inevitably increase. A day or two may be nothing, but over time, the impact may snowball. If it is repaired in the future. The cost will inevitably be higher than before.

Such expenses that are not planned are borne by the shipowner. After all, there is no guarantee that the ship will not encounter any accidents. Since this line of work involves taking the risk of this line of work, and the sailors on board have paid for it with their own lives, it is only natural that the shipowner will have to pay for the pension and repair costs.

But judging from the words. The owner of the 'Georgia' seems to have been extremely stingy in that regard. At present, this approach is likely to be criticized by the other party.

"Don't worry! I'll figure that out. In the face of such an attack, our 'Georgia' was able to keep the cargo in the cabin of the ship. If they are still stingy with this extra loss, it will be too chilling! Speaking of this, Captain Hockdor smiled, "Wait until next time, who will want to fight for him." Then wait for the news of the ship's disappearance! ”

This is already a *naked threat!' Not just Barrett, but all the deaf and discerning people on deck were astonished. But Barrett now wants to know more about how the man who picked the door was able to run the shipping business in the first place.

If it came to this, it wouldn't be frugal. Thrift is not an unnecessary expense, and it is indeed conducive to the accumulation of wealth. But what was expressed in the words just now. It already falls into the category of stinginess. It's possible for someone like that to save a little money, but basically they don't make a big one.

After hearing this, First Officer John stood on the deck with an embarrassed expression, and Captain Hockdor turned to the second mate, Mr. Cardock: "For the rest of the trip, we will arrange for people to patrol the deck day and night. If there is another attack like this. I don't think we'll be able to hold it out. ”

"But with the current manpower, even if you arrange a patrol team of two, I'm afraid you can't arrange it!" Turning to look at the second officer of the crew on deck, Mr. Kaddock, looked very embarrassed.

At this moment, Barrett suddenly waved his hand and said, "If there is a lack of patrol manpower, I think we can help!" ”

"I also said that others have nothing to do, I think the person who likes to find trouble the most is obviously Barrett, right?" Claudia on the side. Auditore looked at Barrett and laughed.

Barrett also smiled back: "If the loss of the sailors is no longer able to sail the sailboat." Will you be able to sail this 'Georgia' to its destination alone? If we are already in the same boat, we must come together! ”

"You have a point. But I don't agree with your words. "Claudia. Auditore tilted his head and smiled, "That's right! Just because Mr. Paladin had to interrupt, I almost got you to change the topic of success. If you don't want me and Klaimatis to join the bloodstained Greyflower mercenary group, you should give me a word......"

But before Claudia. When Auditore had finished speaking, the second mate, Mr. Cardock, hurried to Barrett in three steps and two steps, and shook his hands: "It's great that you're willing to help, Mr. Boram!" With your strength, you will be able to detect potential threats in a timely manner. ”

Knowing that the other party was deliberately doing it for the sailors on the deck to see, Barrett. At this time, in order to 'stabilize the morale of the army', I had to accompany the second mate, Mr. Kaddock, to act. However, he thought to himself quite disapprehantly: 'What if I find it in time?' With the current situation of the 'Georgia', it simply could not withstand the second attack of the intensity just now. In the face of those fishmen, they can't even abandon ship and escape! As for circumvention. This is ...... with the maneuverability of the ship'

However, at this point in time when he must stabilize his position and help each other, Barrett is naturally not stupid enough to say those things that are so bad.

Waynes. Kent also spoke at this time: "I'll do you a favor too!" ”

"With you on board, I don't think it's a big deal to work on a daily basis. Even if we encounter those monsters, we can get them off the ship in the shortest possible time. Second Mate Mr. Kadock said with feigned excitement. But I don't know if that bad acting can fool those sailors around me!

That's when Clematis. Bot's voice suddenly came out of nowhere: "Are you finished there?" Barrett gave me two healing potions, and I'm running out of prayers now. Of the two remaining seriously wounded, two couldn't wait. ”

"I just know how to keep these things. It will definitely come in handy. Barrett who said this. He took out the healing potion earlier and headed it towards Clematis. Bot tossed over.

Then it was as Barrett reached for his belt again. Claymatis. Bot immediately stopped him: "Now it's just to keep those two people alive, and a bottle of potion is enough to be used separately." ”

After saying this, Clematis. Bot immediately twisted the stopper from the vial. He started his own healing career again. But at this time, Barrett seemed to suddenly think of a question, "Miss Bote, if I remember correctly, you should still have a bottle of healing potion on you!" Didn't you use it when you first treated the injured? ”

"Nonsense! If I had that bottle on me, would I reach out to you? That bottle had been drunk in the previous battle with the Fishmen. In the face of a strong enemy, you naturally don't have time to pay attention to these details. "Claymatis. Bot said angrily.

Hearing this, Barrett immediately turned around and swept his gaze over several of his companions. At this time, Rielie clasped her hands to her chest and said, "That's something that can't be helped!" The fish-man before me was so ferocious, even with the scales of the Raven Demon, I could barely hold on. Do you think anyone can be as perverted as you? ”

"Please don't argue, thank you for your precious potions that saved our crew. The cost of your boat ride this time. I'm in charge. Just then, Captain Hockdor suddenly interjected.

Barrett, who heard this, immediately greeted him with a smile: "That's really thankful." ”

But Claudia on the side. Auditore was muttering, 'It's like we're missing that little money.' If it's sincere, then ......'

Soon Clematis. Bot got his job done with Mr. Ococken's help. The sailors on deck who were still unconscious. One by one, their breathing became smooth and powerful. And those who are able to move have already done it themselves to stop the bloodshed. All that's left is to have time to get them back to speed.

Clematis with his hands free. Bot immediately began to grind hard in front of Barrett. Barrett, who knew that he would not be able to live in peace if he didn't give a letter today, had no choice but to take out the mercenary group certificate: "Sign it!" ”

"Exciting adventure, here we come!" Claymatis. Bot and Claudia. The two of them immediately burst into cheers. At the same time, the crews who were still able to move began to clear the deck, which was about the size of the slaughterhouse.

Naturally, the corpse of the fish-man was stripped naked and thrown directly into the sea. And the treatment of his own dead compatriots should be repaid. They were left with a decent pair of clothes. Unfortunately, river vessels do not carry canvas body bags all year round, unlike sea vessels, and eighty percent of them will become fish food in a short period of time after the carcass is launched.

Buckets of water from the river washed the deck, and with the help of the long-handled brushes, the filthy slime was constantly washed into the river. However, for the players, this finishing work is naturally nothing to do without them. Returning to the cabin with the spoils, they began to divide the spoils on the spot.

"The fish-people this time are different from those encountered at sea, what a group of completely poor ghosts!" Claymatis. Bot grummaged as he flipped through the rags in front of him.

Barrett looked very open: "Aren't ordinary fishmen poor ghosts!" Don't look at the ocean, which is far more vast and rich than the land. However, these fish-people are not the masters of the ocean, and with the restrictions of the environment on processing technology, there are really nothing good about ordinary fishmen. Last time, we obviously ran into two fish-man nobles and their guards, otherwise there would be such a good harvest. ”

"But it's not all for nothing! At least that black knight left us a precious legacy, didn't he? "Speaking of Laudia. Auditore pointed to the black armor and broadsword in front of him.

But at this time, Waynes, who was a paladin. Kent couldn't help but speak: "Ladies. Gentlemen. I don't have a problem with what you do with that armor. It's the great sword of evil that I must bring back to the church for purification. The blade, assimilated by the power of evil, is entangled with a staggering amount of sins. ”

At this time, I found that there was an aboriginal Claudia in the house. Auditore, suddenly staring at Waynes. Kent asked, "Mr. Paladin." What are you doing in our cabin? ”

"I would like to remind Ms. Auditore. The previous Black Warrior was the result of my collaboration with Mr. Boram. So in terms of loot, I obviously deserve a share as well. "Waynes. Kent said without humility or arrogance.

Priest of the goddess of wealth and business. See Clematis whose own interests have been damaged. Bot immediately joined in the denunciation of the paladin: "Then you can't take the most valuable item in the first place, right?" It's not the same as what you've contributed. ”

At this time, Barrett was like an idler, and the old god leaned comfortably on the side of the boat and gave it to Waynes. Kent gave him a helpless look. After all, I just brushed up on such an old favorability, and at this time, if you add to Claymatis. Bot and Claudia. Auditore's team was a bit out of the picture. So I had to watch from the wall. Let the two ladies sing white faces.

But Waynes. Kent was a paladin. There is no intention of taking advantage of the players. I saw him take out a copper-ring buckle belt made of brown calfskin: "This is a healing belt." Makes the wearer more medically handy (+2 Ability Bonus for Medical Skills). At the same time, it gains three daily charges, and the user consumes one or more to heal damage or damage the undead......"

"The charge of the healing belt. If used separately, it can be used to treat moderate injuries with 3 feet. If used as a single use, it can cause a fatal effect in an instant. The price is probably between 750 and 900 gold coins. "Before the paladin is introduced, Klematis. Bot began his own appraisal work.

Claudia. Auditore Auditore immediately helped on the side: "It's only a maximum of 900 gold coins!" That's a lot worse than the value of that broadsword! ”

"If I'm not mistaken. The material of this broadsword should be Bartobi ironmaking! This alone is worth 2,000 gold. Don't forget the special effects attached to it, whose evil power is different from the standard enchantment. However, his value should also be on top of the normal first-order enhancement enchantment. "Hold out your finger and say this, Clematis. Bot. Turning his gaze to Rielly, "Let's see what our mage has to say!" ”

"In terms of strength, it's indeed relatively close to the second-order enchantment! But this nefarious weapon won't be easy to find. So it should be unlikely that the price will exceed 7000 gold. Speaking of this, Rielly stared at the paladin in front of her and asked, "Of course, considering your previous contributions, as well as the light of His Sun Temple. As long as you can afford the equivalent of 4,000 gold coins, you can take this broadsword! ”

"It's only 4,000 gold coins!" Hearing this, Clematis. Bot and Claudia. Auditore immediately glared at Rielly, and then turned his gaze to Barrett.

Barrett also nodded: "The mage is right! 4,000 gold is a good price. ”

Waynes, who knows that this is the bottom line of the other party. Kent gritted his teeth: "Is it the equivalent of 4,000 gold coins?" ”

The kettle took out a silver dangling bottle from his back: "These are two bottles of Storm Tears." The milky white rain in the bottle fell only on the upper plane. Some say they foreshadow the fall of a powerful good hero or the miscarriage of a baby. The effect of each vial of Storm Tears in my hand is like a Tranquility of the Heart spell. What's more, Tears of the Storm is not magical in nature, so it can be used in a special environment where the anti-magic zone is tiring. The market price of each bottle is about 750-800 gold coins. ”

Claymatis. Bot nodded, "Tranquility of the Heart?" That's the three-ring magic of the priest. It is said that "peace of mind" can erase all mental pain, just as "medical treatment" can take away *pain. ”

Drinking this potion removes fear, despair (such as the spell "Despair"), or other similar psychic effects, including charm and coercion (e.g., "Enchant Humans", "Domination of Humans", or other similar spells).

It also removes the ongoing effect of torture on * (including certain special magical torture devices), heals panic, and instantly restores 2-8 perceptual attribute damage (but does not heal permanent perceptual drain). It also reinvigorates the focus of the target and brings peace of mind.

"Alright! According to you, these two things can be used for 1600 gold. Counting the previous healing belt, you now need to pay the equivalent of around 1500 gold. "Claudia. Auditore immediately took the two shiny silver flasks.

Waynes. Kent's expression was as if he was constipated. In the end, he took out a spiral-shaped cone from his body: "This is a celestial unicorn horn, which my comrade-in-arms took the initiative to leave me as a gift as a souvenir before he died." I didn't expect it to leave my side sometimes! ”

Since removing the unicorn's entire horn will kill it directly, the unicorns usually choose to give a small piece of it to their companion in need. In very rare cases, though. A unicorn nearing the end of its life will condense its posthumous glow on its horns and give it to its close allies.

Meet Waynes. After Kent took out the items, even Barrett became a little uneasy: "The horn of the unicorn in the heavenly realm that took the initiative to fall off." Oh, my God! I really didn't expect to see this legendary precious material. No, it's not just a material anymore, it's a unicorn with its brilliance. Even if it is not processed, it is already a very good magic weapon. ”

"What exactly is the effect of this thing? Barrett, you better hurry up! There seems to be a glaring hole in my knowledge. Rielly said, staring at her captain.

"This voluntarily detached Celestial Exclusive Foot is capable of turning all 'medical'-related spells into a ray of up to 30 feet. In other words, if the priest casts a healing spell in the future. You don't need to touch it directly with your hands. It is also said to be able to enhance the effect of medical treatment for a certain extent. Speaking of which, Barrett stared at Waynes. Kent advised, "I think you'd better take this item back!" After all, it's not just a magic weapon, but it means a lot to you. ”

"Nope! I think Rebecca would be very happy to know that her unicorn could be used to destroy such an evil weapon. And I also feel that in Mr. Boreham's team, it has more opportunities to fight evil. "Waynes. Kent shook his head, very firmly.

As if afraid that Barrett would say something superfluous, his eyes were already staring at the celestial unicorn horn. Bot was the first to ask, "How much is this horn worth?" ”

"This kind of precious magic weapon is rarely on the market, but in terms of effect, it is worth at least 8,000-10,000 gold coins!" Barrett touched his chin and gave a rough judgment.

Claymatis. Bot said categorically: "Changed! I'll make up the difference! ”

It is clear that this holy single horn, which has the appearance of a work of art, has fallen into the hands of Clematis. In the hands of the copper-smelling pastor Both. I don't know if its original owner will cry about it!

And Waynes. After obtaining the evil broadsword, Kent sprinkled holy water directly in front of the players. For ordinary people, the crystal liquid that is good for the body is sprinkled on the big knife as if it is poured with thick acid.

"Whew! Laugh at! Laugh at! At the sound of the big knife, the outer layer of green smoke continued to rise, and the hideous red and black articles on it became even more mottled.

But regardless of the transaction in the cabin, the Georgia continued to move on the river. However, due to manpower reasons, the speed of travel has slowed down significantly.

And the next day, the passengers on board also began to take on the responsibilities they had previously promised. Second mate, Mr. Cardock, patted Waynes. Kent and Barrett's shoulders: "I'll leave the vigil to you today." ”

"Leave it to me in the middle of the night!" The upright paladin took responsibility first.

Barrett said, "You can't do it alone, I'll do it too." ”

"Then I'll be in the middle of the night with Noodles, remember to call me then" Claudia. Auditore casually picked it up.

"Come on, guys." The halfling wanderer stood on tiptoe and patted the chest and abdomen of the two.

It's night, Paladin Waynes. Kent patrolled the deck in full armor, accompanied by Barrett, who was also dressed in iron armor.

Surrounded by the river breeze, Barrett held a lantern and gestured to each other to the seafarers on duty at the lookout whenever the patrol reached the bow of the ship.

Waynes who suddenly walked in front. Kent turned and asked Barrett, "Mr. Boreham, do you have anyone you like?" (To be continued)
